The Cold Steel Vaquero XL has been my E.D.C blade for over 16 years. It’s a great all around knife with enough size to stand up to anything I may need to deal with. It sharpens easily and holds it well and I have no worries about trusting my life to it if needed.

Gerber Sportsman II. I’ve carried this since the early 70’s. The blade has always opened without touching it with a “Bullwhip” style, down then up snapping the wrist up. I spent hours snapping blade out front, close turn it around and opening it blade down, no matter how I took it out of sheath (flap folded behind belt).

Been using the Buck 110 since 1975, good hip knife, and I carry a buck old-time 3 blade for smaller work. Always used larger Bucks for big game and skinning. Borrowed other brands- a lot boke or would not hold up. Case Bowie great for Moose especially sternum & pelvic divide.
